Hidden fixings for door

    So, I need to fix a door into a frame that is wider than the door is and I want to hide the fixings.

    For example, the opening is the height of the door, and three times the width. The door is glazed and will only form a partial divider for a room so I need to secure it into the frame using hidden fixings but it needs to be secure.

    I thought about double ended screws or perhaps flush mount brackets to slot the door into the frame and secure it.

    Anyone got any better suggestions?

    Is the door supposed to swing afterwards?

    Good luck winding the door round on the double-ended screw!

    2 pins and 2 holes in the wall side. Slide it in. 2 flush bolts(top and bottom) in the open side. Lock into position.

    Er right so....er.....are you using the door not as a door but as a fixed panel ?

    If the opening is 3 times width of door, is door going in the middle or to one side ?

    Is there going to be a frame around both sides and head of door ?

    Could ask so many more questions ..........like er....that name....who told you that you was Ace at 'it' ???

    Can you router out a square 20mm x 20mm continuous recess out of the door at the top and bottom and securely fix a batten of say 18*18mm hardwood or whatever it takes to the floor and frame head and slide the door in to the runners. Skew screw a fixing and the ends top and bottom.
